Medevac in Ijmuiden
A crew member of the "Normand Skipper" suffered a heart attack on Aug 11, 2014. The man collapsed on the roof of the wheelhouse, about 15 meters above the quay in Ijmuiden. With the ship's crane the man was lowered from the deck. Ambulance personnel and the Royal Military Police were alerted. The stretcher with the crew member was carefully hoisted onto the quay by a colleague who operated the crane. The fire brigade took two ropes to keep the stretcher under control in the wind. The ambulance transferred the man to the Medical Center Alkmaar. Dutch report with photo: http://www.schuttevaer.nl/nieuws/offshore/nid21223-hartinfarct-bovenop-scheepsbrug-in-ijmuiden.html
